Rather than get angry, maybe we should listen to what he says....hes actually saying what a lot here have been complaining about.

Rebuilding -> always next year -> playing well taking precedence over results

I guess what Teddy fails to mention its probably easy to think the way they do when money has never been an object

Good post.

I admit I have no love for the bloke but he is saying what every player says when they get to a new club. Instability with coaching and not having the big town money at their disposal has set us back in years gone by.

Now that the club has managed out the salary cap issues, hired a good coach and cleaned out the deadwood we look a better proposition now since those changes have translated on the ladder (at least at this point of the season they have,) especially when players that come here are described as fringe first graders and playing above their ability. A lot of lean years forced some pretty drastic changes.

Easts are pretty cutthroat which suggests they have a win at all costs culture. Teddy will know that if he doesn't put in to satisfaction and Uncle Nick puts the knife in his back, he'll find himself moving to Newcastle in no time.

Help me... I broke apart my insides,
Help me... I've got no soul to sell;
Help me... The only thing that works for me,
Help me get away from myself...

That's funny, if a winning culture is 6 wins from 11, then Tigers have one now too.

Did Tigers get better because Tedesco left, and Roosters worse because he joined? They were 2nd last year.

I think thIS weeks seven new players who werent in the team last year , might have a bit of influence on the difference on the results .
If a few more players had pulled their fingers out and had a crack over the last few seasons, and we had a coach that didnt come from beyond the bottom of the barrell, there may have been a few more who could worry the defences
